Opportunity is ‘Within Reach’

This week my preferred Democrat, Barack Obama, is not the only one crossing a threshold. A series of events which includes my recent breakup and a few encouraging words from my group of close friends have motivated me to move passed the baby steps. Its silly, I have used that excuse for a while and I feel the time is right for something to happen.

If you were not one of the few that received my text message Wednesday night, I intend to come out to my family this weekend.

I have been ready to come out of the closet for a while, however a Plan B is yet to be thought out. I see myself picking up an enormous slack If the worst happens this weekend. So at the very least, my brother should be the one I am honest with this weekend.

It will be the deepest and most emotional confession I will, perhaps ever, tell him.

Ready? I should be… I am spontaneous and the desire of coming out this weekend was brought up very random as well.
Prepared? I will wing it since I think I know who to rely on…
How will it go? I have a feeling that it won’t lead me to be excommunicated. However, I am not sure if it will be smooth from the get-go. Life ain’t smooth PERIOD.

All I know is that an opportunity will arise and whether I am ready or not I am better off taking a chance at it since there won’t be another chance in a few months.

Summer Theme is coming to me again: Those who matter won’t mind!
